I was a lucky boy when Santa bought me this tank one Christmas! The caterpillar tracks went first, boo, hoo! Great trip down memory lane.

I like watching someone like yourself restoring old vintage toys and making them look almost brand new, I find it relaxing seeing someone restore these things.

Looks great. Such a nice vehicle. Good work.

I had loads of Action men and equipment from 1982 and on

This tutorial may well come in handy as i'm after 1 of these bad boys at the moment, There'll no doubt be a bent axle or 2 and a few stickers to replace! Nice job!

Nice Scorpion mate, Gonna try your gun fix on mine :)

I'd straighten the Axel's in my bench vice

I just got a Scorpion. Being from the US, we didn't have this. Do you know how the drivers hatch is attached? It has a tab that fits in the hole, but is there a fastener that keeps it from coming off? Also, I noticed your tank is missing the small 7.62mm gun on the turret, but in the opening of the video the tank had it. Did you make one, and if so what did you use? Also do you know if anyone makes replacement smoke canisters, mine is missing the outer ones on each side. Great video and I appreciate any info you can provide.

Looks better than the tracked vehicles that came with the little GI Joes, free rolling tracks would have been cool.

Cool video! I had a Viper tank for my Action Man which I guess was unofficial as it wasn't made by Palitoy but in my opinion was better made and had more detail.

VERY COOL TANK!!❤

Wow that’s pretty big

PLEASE COULD YOU DO A VIDEO TO REPAIR THE FIELD RADIOS, IF THEY CAN BE FIXED

Great video as always

I need hatches and a replacement muffler and smoke canisters.

Very interesting report, your technic is relatively the same than mine. ;-)

What’s the link for replacement parts ? Thanks! Great vid!

Use to have that till gave it away with boat cannon and my first action in the early 2000s. Could kick myself now. Last year I picked up an action man 1982 talking commander with eagle eye. Few months 1973 field commander and field radio boxed and a 1982 G. I. Joe Duke US army soldier and spare uniform. Last month a 1973 pilot. Land rover army Jeep and Scout car. Last week 2 1993 action men and dinghy with board motor. I always say 60s 70 action mans the best. Can't call those 1990s are action man because they look cheaper and not made by Palatoy. As say picked up 2 90s action man figures knees don't bend I thought I sit them in the jeep see what they look like but couldn't fit.

Looks great but this is NOT a tank..its a c.v.r. (t).....yes im aware its says 'tank' on the box and i can understand why (from a marketing piont of view "tank" sounds better than "c.v.r.(t).....google alvis scorpion and you will see there is a whole family of vechiles based around the chassis and NONE of them are tanks....and if you look at the gi joe /action force wolverine you will see that is also based on the scorpion design (fictious ofcourse as alvis didn't make a wolverine variant)

Hello! Great video... What size are the aerials as I mine are missing and need replacing! Tia.

another cracking video sorry i didnt see it sooner :D

Just about to start on one, but can anyone help with how long the aerials are and what is the diameter of the wire?

Brilliant, thank you. Does anyone know of a source for replacement tracks? My APC is good to go, but I have seen some Scorpions on eBay that were missing their tracks. I have ideas of putting together a Striker.

Hi I have one of these I was just about to put on Market place did you want first bite at it ?

VERY cool!!!!! :-)

How does the turret come off? Thanks.

Lol, I,ve got loads of action man stuff in my attic

hi there anyone know where you can get replacment lights ???

Armour All as a restoring gloss option...after all it is an armoured vehicle LOL!!!
